Columbia (A2803)

Publication date: 1919

Topics: 78rpm, Spiritual

Contributor: Internet Archive

Language: English

Vocal Quartette, Male Voices.

Digitized from a shellac record, at 78 revolutions per minute. Four stylii were used to transfer this record. They are 3.5 mil truncated eliptical, 2.3 mil truncated conical, 2.8 mil truncated conical, 3.3 mil truncated conical. These were recorded flat and then also equalized with Turnover: 500Hz, Rolloff: 5000Hz.

The preferred version suggested by an audio engineer at George Blood, L.P. is the equalized version recorded with the 2.3 mil truncated conical stylus, and has been copied to have the more friendly filename.

Matrix number: 46131
Catalog number: A2803

Notes

The recording on the other side of this disc was also digitized.

Fisk University vocal group (alternately known as the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and other variations) recorded this popular spiritual in 1919. The song has been performed by countless gospel, blues, and soul artists. Here's a recording of it by Reverend Pearly Brown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J8f_1RYubw (Date source: https://archive.org/details/almostcomplete7800barr)
